Tony Blair’s Daughter Was Held At Gunpoint in An Attempted Robbery

Kathryn Blair, the 25-year-old daughter of former British prime minister Tony, was held at gunpoint in an attempted robbery earlier this week, according to media reports out of London today. Kathryn, a barrister (the fancy word British people use for “lawyer”), was walking with a group of friends, including her boyfriend, when they were approached by “two male suspects with a gun.”

“The victims were a man and a woman; the suspects were two males,” police said in a statement.

There was a separate attempted robbery in the area which took place thirty minutes earlier that police believe was connected to the one involving Kathryn. “On both occasions a firearm was seen but not used — no shots were fired. None of the victims were injured and nothing was stolen during the incidents,” police said.

No arrests have been made yet (though an investigation is underway), and Tony Blair’s office has not commented. Also unclear is if these two men had any idea of the identity of who they were trying to rob.
